The biggest native language in the Philippines is Tagalog, which is commonly used as a national lingua franca alongside English, which is widely learned in the Southeast Asian nation. But the linguistic landscape of the Philippines is far more complex than that. With more than 180 languages spoken in the country, the Philippines is one of the world’s most linguistically diverse countries, and one of the biggest languages in the country—in fact, the second biggest—is Cebuano.

We’re Proud to Be Your Top Cebuano Transcription Services Provider
With roughly 22 million native speakers, Cebuano is the second-most-spoken native language in the Philippines, accounting for about 22.5% of the country’s massive population. Cebuano is sometimes also called Bisaya or Binisaya, and it’s native to large swaths of the central and southern Philippines, specifically the islands of Cebu, Bohol, and Siquijor, as well as the eastern half of Negros, the western half of Leyte, and areas of Northern Mindanao and the Zamboanga Peninsula. Additionally, Cebuano serves as a regional lingua franca in Central Visayas and Mindanao as well as parts of Eastern Visayas and Palawan.
Cebuano comes from the Philippine branch of the Austronesian language family, like most other languages native to the archipelagic country. The language features a verb-initial syntax, specifically verb-subject-object, and is largely structured around a complex voice system that dictates the grammatical construction of a sentence. Cebuano’s voice system allows speakers to craft different nuances with their utterances. This is typically a challenging aspect of Cebuano for learners to grasp, but since we hire native speakers for our Cebuano transcription team, you don’t have to worry. We work hard to provide quality transcripts in Cebuano—or Cebuano translated into English—no matter the content of your clip.
Our Secret Partner in Cebuano Transcription Services: Technology
If you’re skeptical of the accuracy of speech-to-text software, we don’t blame you. Indeed, it’s not an appropriate substitute for human transcriptionists if you value quality and precision. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t a fantastic tool that can help professional transcriptionists like us add value to our services. With speech-recognition programs, we can instantly generate rudimentary transcripts that serve as a solid base to work from, allowing us to craft high-quality Cebuano transcripts faster than ever.
Don’t worry—anytime we use automated transcription technology, we always ensure the output undergoes thorough scrutinization from our trained human transcriptionists to maintain our promise of unwavering high quality. This is especially important for a language like Cebuano, which lacks the resources of bigger languages like Indonesian, Japanese, or Mandarin. Whether we work with machines or not, we always deliver the same level of quality—but if you prefer a Cebuano transcript developed from scratch, simply let us know!
